I think you may have lost communication with the GEM module. Only dealer can reestablish.

This information needs to be downloaded into the new module once installed. For additional information, refer to Section 418-01 .

This information needs to be downloaded into the new module once installed. For additional information, refer to Section 418-01 .
NOTE: Electronic modules are sensitive to electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damages may result.
The generic electronic module (GEM) is the only multi-function module on this vehicle.
The GEM constantly monitors its subsystems for concerns. If a concern is found in one of the subsystems, the GEM will record the concern in the form of a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
The ignition switch position is very important to the GEM functionality Erratic or unexpected GEM functions can often be traced to problems with these GEM inputs.
The GEM controls a variety of systems:
  • instrument cluster warning indication and chimes
  • interior courtesy lamp control
  • automatic headlamp control
  • daytime running lamps (DRL)
  • wiper and washer (front only)
  • heated rear window
  • one-touch down power window
  • delayed accessory
  • power door locks (including SMART, autolocking and luggage compartment lid release)
  • remote keyless entry
  • perimeter anti-theft

2003 Ford Taurus Door locks making ugly noise

It sounds as if the lock solenoids are either very dirty, worn or some of both. I'd open up one of the door panels and locate the locking solenoid. Possibly clean it out with WD40 or such. If problem does persist you'll need to change the solenoids out (if this is the case I'd look for good units off a wreck, save youself a dollar or two)
I hope this may have helped,
Tom

None of the windows work from the drivers side nor the individual doors.

There's another fuse box under the hood...check that....it happened to me right after I got my Taurus.

2003 ford taurus. electric windows not working right, started out the driver side would go down and not up, it still has the same problem but now the other windows do not work at all.

Do the windows not work only from drivers door switch, or the doors themselves?

If from drivers side switch, then you need to replace the window switch or maybe some of the wires came loose. If the windows arent working individually, you have short somewhere, or all your motors went out, which I doubt.

Need new door

No need to get new door if it's only the handles that broke off, unless they fell through the rust or something. Buy a new set of handles from dealer or parts place, or even autorecycler (wrecking yard) and change them.
